After struggling with my last painting for a week, this
painting was done much faster. Why? It’s because I had fun doing it. The last
one was too controlled, too tight. It was not lose enough. This one was more
intuitive and free flowing except for the parts I chose to control like the
placement of the molding paste for texture and the lovely little pink circles.
I have no idea what they are. They just felt right to do. After staring at the
painting for a while I have decided to call it Fire Meets the Sea. I see
flowing lava, sea spray, and vegetation. I actually love this one a lot.

So, here are the rules. Just tell me what is your number one hope for the new year. That's all. You don't have to write an essay or anything. Just a simple sentence will do. Even just a word. On Saturday the 10th I will number the responses 1 being the oldest response and up. Then at 12:00 noon EST I will pick a winner using a random number generator. Because I am posting this on many different sites I will ask those participating to follow the link to my blog and answer there, but I will not make it a have to. No jumping through hoops. I hate that. Nor will I ask you to Like my fan page or follow my blog. As I said I hate hoops. So, let's have some fun!
